Consider the situation shown in figure. Light from a point source S is made paralel by aconvex lens L. The beam travels horizontlly andfals on an `88^@-88^@-4^@` prism as shown in figure. It passes through the prism symmetrically. The transmited light falls on a vertial mirror. Through what angle should the mirror be rotated so that an image of S is formed as S itself?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The parallel beam after going through the prism will be deviated by an angle `delta`. If the mirror is also rotated by this angle `delta`. The rays will fal normally on it. The rays will be reflected back along the same path and form the image of S on itself.
as the prismis thin, the angle `delta` is given by
`delta=(mu-1)A`
`=(1.5-10xx4^@=2^@`
thus , the mirror should be rotated by `2^@`

Two parallel beams of light P and Q (separation d) containing radiations of wavelengts 4000Å and 5000 Å (which are mutually coherent in each wavelength separately) are incident normally on a prism as shown in figure the refractive index of the prism as a function of wavelength is given by the relation mu(lamda)=1.20+(b)/(lamda^(2)) where lamda is in Å and b is a positive constant. The value of b is such that the condition for total reflection at the face AC is just satisfied for one wavelength and is not satisfied for the other. A convergent lens is used to bring these transmitted beams into focus. If the intensities of the upper and the lower beams immediately after transmission from the face AC, are 4I and I respectively, find the resultant intensity at the focus.
